Looking Forward

This afternoon is rainy and dreary but this morning we still had a few glimpses of lovely sunshine. I caught some morning rays on these red and yellow leaves of the dogwood tree at the east corner of the cottage. Most of the leaves are down now in these parts and, even as I type, there are fewer on this particular tree than there were this morning. Fall is blowing away and there is snow in the forecast for tonight. But who's complaining? Not me! Time to look forward to flannel p.j.'s and hot chocolate!
